  1. [R4] Marble Master 1/5 · US If you like to watch ads: Seriously I like the game but oh my, the ads. And I’m not talking just occasional, after EVERY game and some ads are 3-5 minutes. Other games I play may be a 30 second ad…not this one. I end up losing points because as soon as I finish a game, I close out just so I won’t have to watch another ad. Great game but the ads are killing it for me.
  2. [R7] Marble Master 1/5 · US ADS, ADS & ADS!!!!: Uninstalling this app right now. TOO MANY ADDS. 1 or 2 adds every level you pass. That make the game impossible to enjoy and play….
  3. [R10] Marble Master 1/5 · US Grrr: Installed this app three days ago. The first two days were fun. Today, there is an ad break between each level, and the level takes far less than a minute to play. If this isn’t more ad time than play time, it’s too close for me. Bye.
  4. [R13] Marble Master 1/5 · US Worst Game Ever: Do not download this game. It’s the worst game ever. There’s a commercial after everything and they forced it on you. There’s more commercials than game.
  5. [R15] Marble Master 3/5 · US Review: Too many long adds it makes it boring
  6. [R27] Marble Master 3/5 · US Nope: Too many ads. I don’t mind the ads you watch to gain something but these are just forced watching and they’re very long. Too bad because it’s pretty fun otherwise.
  7. [R31] Marble Master 1/5 · US Hate this app: This app wasn’t even fun to play and on top of that there are way too many ads. When you spend more time watching ads than playing the game it’s just too much.
  8. [R16] Marble Master 1/5 · US Disgusting ads: This game is rated 4+ yet has an ad you have to watch for basic advancement, that has AD in which girls wearing a bra and opening their underwear to where one would play the game. It’s terrible! Ad is for a game called screw siren.
  9. [R3] Marble Master 3/5 · US Limited time add free: I paid eventually for a deal that included add free but I only enjoyed it for what seemed like a month now the adds are back so that’s annoying it’s a monthly cost for add free, other games it’s a one time fee I dont know why this one is different but now I know
  10. [R28] Marble Master 1/5 · US This is all ads and NO game!: The only way to stop the ads is to pay!! That was the solution offered, how lousy! What a frustrating SCAM this is!!!!
  11. [R6] Marble Master 3/5 · US Will update later if fixed: Literally cannot play the game because of the ads that WILL NOT CLOSE. I understand the need for ads, but recently I am getting the ads that let you play the game for a bit and then open the App Store. The problem is they won’t close after. There’s no way to exit aside from closing the game entirely. Which is a problem
  12. [R22] Marble Master 1/5 · US Don’t waste your time: The game conveniently freezes on you when you’re making progress.
  13. [R19] Marble Master 1/5 · US Boring: The levels are too easy and way too short. Waste of time. I deleted it after 20 minutes of play. Also the developer likes to harass you if you leave a 1 star review. But here is the real reason I hated the game. They are trying too hard to make this game fun with all the bells and whistles and the pop ups are annoying trying to get you to buy add ons. First off the game is too easy and sho
  14. [R48] Marble Master 3/5 · US So sad now🤷🏼‍♀️: This used to be one of my favorite games. I’m on level 5765 and it is now almost impossible to get through a level without buying items. It’s no longer a skill game. When you’ve almost beat the level, the balls will speed up or change color so that when you aim and shoot, it won’t clear anything. Unfortunately, after loving it for years, I am deleting it.
  15. [R58] Brain Test 5/5 · US Five star: This game is really good because they’re just helps your brain to figure out stuff. I love this game. You should download it.
  16. [R63] Brain Test 5/5 · US Game: Gets brain working
  17. [R69] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 4/5 · US Four star: Super fun to play. Distracts me when I’m sick and makes sure to make every level harder but not to hard.
  18. [R72] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 5/5 · US So fun I play this every day: Best part is if you’re patient about playing the hard and super hard rounds and keep trying, the game seems to lower the challenge level eventually (at least to me). Otherwise I would have deleted it. Patience = $0. I love the new mini games too. I only wish the Tidy Mart one lasted longer since it has so many moves and you have to earn a lot of gloves. Even playing
  19. [R75] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 5/5 · US Bubble pop!!!: So good when you need to have a rest . It’s calm too and no skill needed!
  20. [R78] Bubble Pop! Puzzle Game Legend 5/5 · US Twice the fun.: Fun and challenging!
  21. [R83] FarmVille 2 4/5 · US Love it: I would have had put 5 stars but I have been unable to connect to my facebook for about 3 days and it effects the global shop
  22. [R89] FarmVille 2 5/5 · US Long time player and Love it!: I really enjoy FarmVille 2: Country Escape, but there are a few quality-of-life improvements that would make a huge difference: • Show how many of each item I already have in my barn while viewing recipes in each production station. • Add a “Sort by Lowest Inventory” option so recipes I need most appear first. • Allow players to search for recipes and inventory item
  23. [R93] Happy Hospital® 2/5 · US Fun at first: It’s a great game for the first little while. But the game becomes almost impossible and can take days to pass one level, it’s not fun at all after a little bit.
  24. [R105] Happy Hospital® 1/5 · US Impossible: Im used to p2p but dang cant even get one round in without watching so many videos and even if you pay some still cant keep up and you loose
  25. [R37] Marble Master 2/5 · US Don’t see option to buy ad-free: Good game but would prefer to pay to remove ads.
  26. [R20] Marble Master 5/5 · US Buen juego: Es un buen juego de dificultad media, lo cual me gusta mucho porque lo uso para distraerme y no me estresa con dificultad alta se dificulta pasar las etapas en algunos juegos es casi imposible, eso no sucede con este! lo recomiendo.
  27. [R35] Marble Master 5/5 · US Long Lasting Fun: Talk about bang for your buck - I’m up to almost 1100 levels of this game, and I’m still challenged and still enjoying it. There’s a seemingly endless supply of new configurations and tasks set out. Really feel like this game got it right. Wondering if I will eventually complete it. How many levels are there??
  28. [R36] Marble Master 3/5 · US Game: Love the game but I feel like one it’s getting harder to beat a level on first try. I don’t even bother doing the challenge anymore. And now the adds after every loss is very annoying
  29. [R52] Brain Test 5/5 · US Great game but….: Hi luck puff here just wanted to say this is a great game but can you please take of the adds it would really help it is very stressful to keep watching adds.🙏🙏🙏🙏
  30. [R54] Brain Test 1/5 · US Should be called ad test: Hard to get any sort of rhythm going when every single level ends with an ad. Any chance at enjoying the game is immediately squashed when you force ads interrupting the game play. Instant uninstall after 6 levels smh. When will devs learn
  31. [R55] Brain Test 4/5 · US Awesome: It’s so awesome except for the fact this I get ad’s after every round but that’s fine I still love the game ❤️
  32. [R57] Brain Test 1/5 · US Too many ads: This is ༺MikePittsFanGirl༻ here to say that there are too many ads after 1-2 levels
  33. [R79] FarmVille 2 2/5 · US No se puede conectar a Facebook: Buenos dias, tengo mi cuenta vinculada a Facebook y quiero volver a cargarla pero me aparece un error al tratar de hacerlo, no sé qué me recomiendan o que podría hacer… Es el mejor juego de granja pero ese error no me ha dejado jugar llevo 3 días intentando vincularla
  34. [R81] FarmVille 2 3/5 · US Too many issues!!: I’m ready for Zynga and Facebook to fix the connection!
  35. [R82] FarmVille 2 2/5 · US Problem connecting: Since the update at beginning of July, the game doesn’t connect to Facebook, and no pictures of coop available and just acting buggy in game. Is this being worked on to fix?
